Excellent private creekside property. Very well appointed charming home with great outdoor space. We enjoyed our stay almost as much as our dogs! ...they had a blast!
My husband and I brought our three kids here under the age of ten. The pictures just canât capture the magic of this place, the creek is absolutely stunning, the kids had fun swimming and making their way down stream to a little waterfall and back. We spent several days just at the house between day trips to other locations. The house has so much more than the typical rental which was such a bonus. The house is very cool and fun, very clean. The creek can be heard from every space in the house, many hours were spent lying in the porch reading and doing puzzles. We watched the fireflies at night. We did not want to leave at all! Hosts were so wonderful, we found a bees nest and they came over to take care of it right away and were extremely responsive. Loved it, highly recommend!
The house was everything we hoped for. It was very clean and had all the knik knacks you need with a couple gifts to boot. Great listening to the creek on the porch and a nice Christmas tree added to the living room decor. Geat place!
My family and I had a great time staying here June of 2025. The outdoor space here is fantastic and our favorite so far for our yearly family vacation. My kids and dog played basically daily from sun up to sundown in the stream outside. My wife and I had plenty of places to watch from afar if thatâs what we wanted at the time. They even have a gem sifter so you can go down to the local gem mine, pick up a bucket of dirt and bring it back to the cabin for DIY gem mining at your own pace. The cabinet itself was perfect for our family as everyone had their own room and the dog had free range of the place. Everything we needed was available, even bags to pick up after your dog. The cabin and outdoor space are all very well-maintained and the host is extremely helpful and friendly. She never interfered, but was always available if we had a question or needed assistance in anyway. I felt like we were miles away from everything but only it took 10 to 15 minutes to get into town if you wanted a grocery store or a restaurant to go out to eat at. We highly recommend staying here if you get the chance.
This was our 2nd time staying at Bhakti Manor and will deffently return. The house is amazing, you cant beat the rushing creek right next to the house, and the owners are awesome, friendly & very responsive. Best experience renting a place so far!
Loved the house and its location by the creek. We stayed outside the whole time just listening to the water. So peaceful that we fell asleep on the porch multiple times. And our furbaby loved getting his feet wet.
Perfect place forward family and friends. The grandkids loved playing in the creek which was the perfect depth. The house had everything you needed especially the kitchen. With 3 floors and 3 bathrooms everyone had their own space. Very convenient location for day trips. Hope to stay again!
What a fantastic home away from home. On our way back home the kids wanted back now!
The best relaxing place to be! There are waterfalls. Fenced area for dogs, fenced decks for safety of kids and dogs. There is an awesome kitchen with everything imaginable. And of course, awesome hostess! Hope to return sometime!
Thank you so much for a fantastic mini vacation!
Super comfortable stay for all 6 of us. Lots of seating inside and out! The house was packed with supplies, clean, roomy and the best part for us was the porch, as it looks out to the beautiful stream and trees. Plenty of parking for 3 cars, 3 transport trailers and 3 motorcycles. The driveway was gravel, but fairly packed down and very level. Location was excellent to all of the amazing roads this area has to offer. We will definitely keep this place in mind for our next Great Smoky Mountain trip.
The cabin is just BEAUTIFUL. Peaceful and relaxing with the creek running beside it. Privacy but still located to many attractions to go do/see.. We did the Great Smokey Railraod (40 min drive) and went to see waterfalls (20 min drive). The cabin is well stocked with all the appliances plates silverware cups Etc you will need . The owners are easy to reach if need and Very Nice. We will definitely be going back.
Each year we pick a cabin to celebrate Thanksgiving to be near our kids. This one exceeded our expectations and the setting was amazing. We brought our dogs and they had a wonderful time as well. The property is perfect for just about everybody. We felt like we were staying at a good friendâs Home. The kitchen was so well stocked, and had absolutely everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The house layout worked very well for us. I just canât say enough about it. Debra was also so easy to deal with and communicate with and extremely helpful.
Very beautiful and peaceful sitting steps away from a lovely creek! Very comfortable accommodations with every thing you need to have the best mountain get away. 3 levels to give privacy to all guest. Do take note of the spiral stairs that go from ground to loft. Loved that each level has a bedroom and bathroom. Lots of lighting, tvâs, ceiling fans, and outdoor seating to keep everyone happy! Will definitely return for more adventures! Very easy to travel from Franklin to Bryson City with paved roads up to the short gravel drive.
This was our second stay at Bhakti Manor. We canât wait to go back again. The entire place from the time you pull through the entry gates is absolutely gorgeous. The cabin is fully equipped with everything you could need. And is also very clean. Itâs a pet friendly home which makes its exceptionally great for us. There is plenty of room for everyone with it being three stories. The wrap around porches are wonderful. Thereâs a beautiful creek that runs through the property. Everything about Bhakti Manor is perfect. The best place we have ever had the pleasure of renting.
This was our 3rd stay here and every time we fall in love with it even more. Itâs close to a lot of great gem mines, and we even brought back some gem dirt to sift through in the creek later that day! Our dogs love playing in the creek too.
As with all the places in this area, the WiFi is spotty. But we love that they have Direct TV so we can watch more than just DVDs. The beautiful kitchen is well stocked for making meals there and they have a great little coffee bar section!
This is a great place to relax and unplug. So much room and a porch on all 3 levels! The main one wraps all the way around and I loved the little fenced in area off the main porch for the dogs. I highly recommend the Bhakti Manor!
We wanted a property where there was room to stretch out, relax, and slow down, in nature and yet be near activities like hiking, rafting, gem mining, etc.
Debra Pettinato-Ross and Richard Ross wanted to provide a comfortable, contemplative refuge for those seeking to relax and enjoy the beauty and activities of the Smoky Mountains in Western North Carolina.
Quiet. serene location close to waterfalls, hiking, river rafting and gem mining. Easy drive to the restaurants and highly rated spa in Highlands and Harrah's Casino in Cherokee. & Bryson City 2.5 hours from Atlanta and 1.5 hrs from Asheville. 45 minutes
